drag racing

Drag racing is a sport where two cars race side-by-side on a straight, flat track called a strip, typically one quarter-mile long. The goal is to accelerate as quickly as possible from a standstill and reach the finish line before the opponent. Cars are highly specialized, featuring powerful engines, aerodynamic designs, and advanced technology to maximize speed and acceleration. Races begin with a “tree” signal that signals the start, and the winner is determined by who crosses the finish line first. It showcases engineering, precision driving, and the pursuit of raw speed.
